[vaughanmc]

Stunning!!!!

[NovaLad]

You're officially a legend that car is awesome!

[draper]

what grill is that ?? seems to have a different moulding roud the edges ??

edit - ts a mk2 grill with the 'tabs' under the lights cut off ???

[castanhas_15td]

hi there mates!!

thinks for the opinions...

until the end of this summer i'm planning to do some new paint job on the bonnet and at the rear bonnet (i don't know how you call it...) them both need...nothing pecial..but it's not perfect :p

the engine has now about 95bhp with just a few ajustments...but i'm already collecting things to improve his power... it will be funny :cool:

later i'll post a few pics of the interior... ;)

thinks every one... there are very good projects here in the forum...i'm loving it more & more... :)

[castanhas_15td]

"draper"-> yes it's a mk2 modified grill

[draper]

actually looks ok as ot means the bumper sits flush

[Nevo]

Im going to do my 5 door sumert like this but maybe silver wheels tho , nice car mate

[Nevo]

hi there...my name is bruno, i'm 23 years old and i'm the owner of this corsa...

anyone have any idea where i can get me a set of these wheels and anyone have a clue roughley how much ... ???

[draper]

its actually a corsa A in europe, why do you think 'our' first corsa was the B ;)

[Mike B GTE]

are they not banded steelies? l

[castanhas_15td]

yes it's actually a corsa_A...


sorry my bad english, and sorry but i can't understand some things that you guys say... lol... but it's normal...

i just ask you, if you wanna make me any questions please use basic english allright? lol

[SGA33]

Lovely car there mate.Those gold minilite wheels look awesome on it :)

[Graeme]

Love the banded steels, would love a set of the Opel centers for a set of SRI steels i'm in the process of havin banded

[novait]

[Jack]

^ Thats easy to understand lol

[DW-Nova]

Looks lovely mate, de-handle it perhaps? is the interior leather? if not it'd really suite a beige leather interior, everywhere including the dash and door cards and roof lining etc, your lucky over there not having to worry about it rusting either as they dont salt the roads hey, look forward to seeing some more photos.

[Count Vaux Alot]

Hi there i like the car alot and it's good to see another tuned td out there...my corsa B 1.7td made 116bhp i hope yours runs the power you are after. Modded 5 doors are rare let alone diesel ones keep up the good work!

[Mazz]

The interior looks like its from a Corgi model :)
Great looking car dude..

[General Baxter]

why can we not get 5 door td's over here :(

[twistysnovagte]

awsome car mate:thumb: ,im gonna be serious with you,its the best 5 door nova ive seen,not a lover of the 5 door but this is a exeption, quality mate:thumb:

[_JH_]

why can we not get 5 door td's over here :(

Um, we can baxter ;)

I've had 2 [still have them in bits in the field actually lol ] an L plate maroon one and a K plate red one :)

Very nice car too!

Seeing this has made me want a 4 door now.

I would have kept the deep dish steelies on personally but i like what you have now aswell.

Show us some rust or else it isn't a nova! lol

[castanhas_15td]

lol...

rust has no place on my car ;)

[NovaLad]

Poke around and you shall find some lol.

[castanhas_15td]

[nuno_gt]

Hi Bruno!
Nice to see you here aswel! :thumb:
You are still going further on this one? Ho much more can you do since it's almost better then perfect :D

Hope to hear you on my thread, I'm still on the bodyworks on the Michalak at the moment and missing my blue Corsa ;)

[robertdevlin69]

[stupot89]

[Tim-SR]

thats gorgeous mate! puts my more door to shame :( lol

[castanhas_15td]

hi there guys!

well...as for the wheels...yes they will maintain...they where chosen because of their great aspect...and their light weight caracteristics :D

as for the engine...it's my second one...on the first i did a few things...but the age of it as betrayed me... so this one is running now with too small ajustments and it has about 100bhp... the objective is to get all the things i need to increase the power a bit more...to about 200bhp...or ...a who knows even more:cool: since i know a friend with lot more :D

i'm countting on you guys to help me on purchase other things to the car... hope someone help me on the time :thumb:

today at the end of day...went with him for a small ide here in town...a bit of fun with it...and after that washed the car and cleaned all of it... ;) after that...garage!!!! maybe on weeken if it is sunny it get out again :cool:



it makes me so proud when i pass and every one stays looking to the car...:D makes every cent of my euros, and every minute of time wasted on it worth a lot!!! but the most importante is...that my personal thinkings and problems get forgotten when i seat on the inside and go for a ride...
